Fill your hearts with love and gratitude. Life gives us what we need and not necessarily what we want. It follows its own wisdom, which is often incomprehensible to our gross minds. We should learn to accept situations in life. This attitude of acceptance is the secret to happiness.

When humanity serves Nature, Nature serves humanity. When we serve animals and plants, they too serve us in return.

If we have been able to give happiness to a soul-even for a minute-it makes our life blessed.

God is standing at the door of every heart. Call Him. He is waiting to come in.

Every night, contemplate: What good did I do today? How can I do better tomorrow?

Children, we should visit homes of the poor, orphanages and hospitals from time to time. We should take our family members along and offer assistance and look after the welfare of inmates. A word spoken with love and concern will give them more comfort than any amount of money. That will lead to the expansion of our hearts as well.

Whatever is associated with the mind is bound to change. The truth is that which is changeless. It is the Self.
